STRANGE STORY
GUY peeled oil bis white overall
and vanished.
Alison, sitting on a low chair,
laughed again. All the way dowo In
the Underground the had wondered
what their meeting would be like.
But wherever her thought! had
wandered they had pictured nothing
like this!
She had heard the sound ot a car
starting and in a minute he was
back.
"There. Finished? Come on."
The shabby dark blue Rover was
outside. As they came cut Into the
main road, he looked down at her
and asked, "You believed my letter,
then?"
"1 didn't even get It You see, my
stepmother burned It. And I've run
away from home."
His reply was the last thing that
she expected.
"And I've run away from
"Thank God for that!" be Bald.
"If you bada't come this morning, I
peaa going to the police!"
"To tbe police!"
"Yea." Ho answered her amazed
took with a nod. "Out never mind
that now. Tell me what's happened."
Alison told him briefly of her in
terview in tbe theatre and wbat fol
lowed. Hli face grew white and set

Cord!" and almost admiringly,
"Y'know, she's cleverl A clever
flevll "
"Isn't she?" agreed Alison. "So you
see, 1 didn't get your letter. Only I
'elt that If she could go to those
lengthB, tearing up my letters, and
lying about me, she must be lying
about you, too," she wound up
breathlessly. "And and I thought
I'd come and ask you myself. I just
want to know tbe truth."
He said contritely, "It's all my
fault! I've been a complete tool not
to trust you from the beginning."
"You mean, telling me "
"That story. Yes. i realized last
night, when you wouldn't listen to
me, wbat an abject, utter ass I'd
been. If you know how I've worried
alt night! I tell you, I was on the
point of going to the police."
"But why?"
"Tt's rather a long tale. Let's And
somewhere where we can talk."
They found a little basement cafe
with bright copper covered tables.
It was 12:15. The place was Just
beginning to fill up but they chose
a table, out of range of listening ears.
Even after the waitress had taken
their order, they sat for a moment
Just looking at each other Oddly
satisfying, just to sit and look at
him and smile!
"I'LL have to go right back to the
beginning, to Just over a year
ago." he warned Alison, "or you
won't understand why 1 didn't tell
the truth. It was silly of me Idiotic
1 ought to have known that you
couldn't have anything to do with It,
but I'd hftpn having a dnvll of a time

state where I suspected everyone."
"Poor darling!" Alison breathed
that and the band under tho table
gave an answering squeeze.
"Yon see, I'd Just started In prac
tice out In Nice. I'd sunk all my
capital In It and things were going
rather well. My patients were mostly
rich old ladles who had nothing to
think about except their health and
they liked m to call and see them
even If they'd only a cold.
"It wasn't the work I'd have
chosen for myself but I'd bad pneu
monia badly and I'd been told the
best thing 1 could do was to live out
In a warm climate for a bit, so I did
my best to cheer them up and cure
them and keep their minds off them
selves. "Anyway, things were going quite
well when one ot the villas In my

his wife. He was English, a retired
Jam merchant, and pretty well off,

a lot younger and well, I won't say
what I think of her to youl She tried
to make love to me, among other
things which isn't a habit I'm fond
of in my patient's wives!"
She said Impulsively, "Oh, my
dear, I am so sorry about the other

"VTHERE bad I got to," he asked.
' "Ob! Well, anyway, tbla old
man waa 111. I could aee that all
right. But bis symptoms weren't In
order. Sometimes he'd be almost well
for a long time and then be'd have
a relapse and nearly die for no
reason at all.
"His wife pretended to be terribly
concerned about him but 1 knew for
a fact that she waa running round
with a forolgn gigolo and I
grew rather suspicious. Anyway, I
watched, and got my nurse to watch,
and we noticed that tho old man's
relapses always came after nurse's
time off, when tbe wife had been
nursing her husband herself. So I
took tbe bull by the horns and In
terviewed the lady.
"I told her that 1 did not feel satis

old man Into a nursing home. She
lost her temper with me and cre
ated a frightful shindy but I stuck
to my point and told her that unless
she consented, I should have to get
a specialist's opinion.
"That scared her and she gave
way. 1 made all arrangements to
move my patient the next day and I
warned the matron of the home that
he was not to be left atone with his
wife. 1 went 'round myseli to see
him moved and found hlra gone.
"Oone?"
"Yes, She'd chartered a special
plane and whisked htm off by air to
England! About three months later.
I saw a notice of bis death In tbe
London papers. But I'd one satisfac

wills that he had left nothing: as It
turned out bo'd sunk It all In an
annuity. So she didn't make any
money by what she did.'

CANADIAN FAMILY
ECIDES MEDFORD
IS PLACE TO LIVE
In April of this year Mr. and Mrs.
O. Page and their two small daugh
ters, Doreen and Corrlne, set , out
from their home In Edmonton, Al
berta, for a fling at adventure In the
'States." They found It.
While staying with a brother of
Mr. Page's in Orange. California,, the
family was held up and robbed by
an armed Intruder, and over 8300 m
money and Jewelry was taken. That
was an unpleasant adventure, but
they have many pleasant ones to off
set It, they admit. They have travel
led 33,000 miles In the western pit
of the United States since April, vis
iting all of the national parks, and
all of the western states.
Mr. Page Is retired from the Can
adian postal service, and the climate
at Edmonton Is a bit too high tor
his health. Southern California is a
bit too low, but Medford is ideal, he
thinks. Consequently, he and his
family have decided to live here. At
least they Intend giving tho Idea a
six-month trial. They have settled
on a small fruit ranch on route a,
with a cousin, James Virtue.
Of Interest to Medford automobile
enthusiasts Is the Page car. It la a.

GALAXY OF STARS
IS
VEILING
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.. June 35. (AP)
Discovery of a hitherto unkown
galaxy of stars, one of the Island un
iverses nearest to the earth but un
seen because of obscuring meteoric
dust, has been announced by Dr.
Harlow Shapley, director of the Har
vard University observatory.
Dr. Shapley said the spiral galaxy,
which has been tagged "I.C342," Is
the third largest spiral In the sktes,
and Is situated not far from the
milky way. Its diameter. Dr. Shap
ley added, la probably not more than
10.000 light yeara from the earth.
"In angular dimensions." the Har
vard astronomer explained, "the spi
ral Is larger than the moon at Its
full. It Is, in fact, the third largest
spiral now known; the larger two be
ing the great Andromeda Nebula and
that known as Messier 33."
Related discovery of the galaxy was
made through recent long exposure
photographs with tbe telescopes at
the Oak Ridge station of the Harvard
observatory and It was announced by
Dr. Shapley last night. Dr. Shapley
said the nearness of the Nebula to
the Milky Way delayed Its Identifica
tion. The central nucleus of I. C. 842
was first noted more than 40 yeara
ago by W. F. Denning, an English
amateur observer of shooting stars
and comets, but he failed to see the
spiral arms, which are only revealed
by photographic plates. "
